Operator

This dimension names the agency or company that actually operates a spacecraft. Wikipedia notes that only a handful of nations have orbital launch technology, among them "Russia (Roscosmos), the United States (NASA)" and "Japan (JAXA)," each operating its own fleet of spacecraft. Browsing this way collects every spacecraft run by the same operator.
